Eka Pada Galavasana: Flying Crow Pose

Also known as the Flying Pigeon Pose, this highly advanced asana is a part of ashtanga yoga in its third series. The idea isn’t to nail the pose as much as it is to enjoy the process. The sequence leads to the physical strengthening of the core, arms, and hips, along with an improvement in balance. The journey to the final asana sharpens mental focus and boosts confidence. If carpe diem was an asana, this would be it.

TRAILING Solo

I USED TO GO RUNNING EVERY evening at sunset from my lodge at Bandhavgarh to a village nearby. One evening, as I was walking back, I heard langur alarm calls. They were excited and frantic, and I knew what that meant—a big cat. After about 45 minutes, I saw something come out of the bushes, look at me, and charge. Almost instinctively, I jumped up and yelled back, and the leopard ran away. The female came out of the bushes next and simply walked away. I guess I won alpha-off.”

Land of the Dawn-Lit Mountains

ON AN UNSEASONABLY WARM October morning in Delhi that made me pine for the jungle encrusted hills of the northeast, I received a Facebook message from a British journalist and travel writer, Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent. Antonia was planning to travel through Nagaland and wanted to make a stop at the Tzu Valley, where I worked with local communities on a conservation project. I was intrigued when she mentioned she had written a book on her motorbike journey through Arunachal Pradesh—a land lately forgotten by the outside world, still bewilderingly wild and peopled by tribes with fascinating cultural and folkloric traditions, beliefs, and practices. Whose origins remain shrouded in mystery.
